Tanning beds are absolutely NOT safe in any way!
I heard a radio ad yesterday for a tanning salon that claimed tanning was the healthy way to help your body produce more vitamin D. Nonsense. 15 minutes of light exposure a day is the most you need to boost your vitamin D production. But I digresss.
Cosmetically, tanning (even in beds) leads to premature aging of the skin. The UVB rays you're exposed to in the tanning beds are just a deadly when it comes to skin cancer risk.
Routine use of tanning beds is a BAD, BAD idea!

Whether the tanning bed, natural sunlight, or purposeful exposure to radioactive materials, you're exposing yourself to ionizing radiation, and your exposure is cumulative over your lifetime. The tan may fade, but the damage in terms of risk of cancer (or simply premature aging) never goes away, it just keeps adding up throughout your lifetime.

You will get skin cancer and there is no need to go everyday.
